Dickson to Solicitor-General: ‘Uphold professionalism’

WORRIED by the lacklustre performance of lawyers attached to the state Ministry of Justice, Governor Seriake Dickson has called for a change of attitude.

Dickson who spoke when swearing-in Barr. Preye Agedah, a practicing lawyer, as permanent secretary of the ministry of Justice and Solicitor-General of the state, and Mr. Suru Oyarede as Permanent Secretary for the Local Government Service Commission, noted that the manner government cases are being handled in the ministry which is one of the greatest challenges must be corrected.

“The major challenge of the Ministry of Justice was the sloppiness with which government cases were handled,” noted Dickson, who called on Barrister Agedah to work towards addressing the problem.
